Top 100 G1 Races Announced for 2017 Top 100 G1 Races of 2017 Named 23 January 2018 In association with the LONGINES World's Best Racehorse and LONGINES World's Best Horse Race Ceremony, the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities has published its annual list of top 100 Group 1 and Grade 1 races. The ranked list is compiled using the annual race ratings, which are calculated based on the first four finishers in each race. LONGINES and the IFHA use this list to determine the winner of the annual LONGINES World's Best Horse Race Award. The 2017 winner is the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, as it achieved a rating of 126.25. Held at Chantilly whilst Longchamp was under renovation, the Arc was won by European Horse of the Year Enable, while Cloth of Stars, Ulysses, and Order of St George rounded out the top four.

Eleven countries comprise this year's list, representing the foremost racing events throughout the world across 39 different racecourses. Great Britain leads all countries with 24 total races, followed by Australia (22), United States (15), Japan (12), Hong Kong (9), France (6), Ireland (4), South Africa (3), United Arab Emirates (3), Germany (2), and Canada (1). Because of a three-way tie for the 99th spot on the list of Top 100 G1 races, the 2017 edition consists of 101 races. In the context of their partnership, LONGINES and the IFHA have created a set of prizes rewarding racehorses, jockeys and prominent women and men of the equestrian world. The LONGINES World's Best Horse Race was created to complete this collection of awards by rewarding the top race in the world. The Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was the inaugural winner in 2015, and the Breeders’ Cup Classic won in 2016. The top 100 Group 1 and Grade 1 races also serve as the base of an annual competition to recognize top jockeys throughout the world. The jockey who outperforms his or her peers in these races is honoured with the LONGINES World's Best Jockey Award. Hugh Bowman won the title in 2017, while Ryan Moore won the inaugural contest in 2014 as well as in 2016, and Frankie Dettori was crowned in 2015. The 2018 LONGINES World's Best Jockey Award will be based upon performances in these 100 highest-rated Group 1 and Grade 1 races from 1 December 2017 until 30 November 2018. Jockeys accrue 12 points for a win, 6 points for placing second, and 4 points for placing third.

  • In the Winx of an Eye She Became
    4 FAREWELL WINX In the Winx of an eye she became A LEGEND AS WE BID FAREWELL TO WINX, ONE OF THE BEST GALLOPERS TO EVER HIT THE TRACK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BRAD GRAY REFLECTS ON HER FIVE MOST MEMORABLE WINS IN HER HOME STATE – NO EASY TASK! Winx has left us with our hearts in our mouths, jaws on the floor and wonder in our eyes. What a remarkable career. We salute you Winx. DONCASTER MILE, 2016 Think about this for a moment … 1in Winx’s Doncaster win she gave Happy Clapper 6kg. That is 8kg before the mare’s allowance, and she was only four-years-old too. After settling down with just three runners behind her, Hugh Bowman was niggling the daughter of Street Cry approaching the 600m but once she squeezed through the pack halfway down the straight, she strode clear to win by two lengths going away. Bowman admitted he was as worried as onlookers in the run. This was the day Chris Waller conceded he had a champion on his hands. RIGHT: Hugh Bowman salutes the crowd after Winx’s epic Doncaster Mile victory in 2016 GEORGE RYDER STAKES, 2017 Breathtaking. Winx made a habit of 2winning this race but none were more dominant that the 2017 edition where she annihilated a field that included Le Romain and Chautauqua, with nine Group Ones between them. The wet track certainly played into her hands but after she idled up the leaders at the 400m it was just a matter of margins. It was 7.3 lengths in the end.
